An investor buying in any established Saskatoon neighbourhood should confirm the rental history, the condition of major systems, and whether renovations have been done with permits, since public assessment records lag behind actual condition and can misstate what a rental unit is really worth.
The residential percentage of assessed value used in City of Saskatoon taxation is set at 80 percent, which affects an investor's carrying costs regardless of which neighbourhood the property sits in.
A specific, hand-reviewed look at the property tells you far more than a neighbourhood label. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
